Total Process Energy Assessment is an ALFA proven and proprietary methodology used to identify, verify, quantify, and then optimize plant wide energy usage, utility allocation and environmental emissions, which includes process functionality. It is a systematic approach to assess plant energy efficiency and identify opportunities for energy reduction. The total process is divided into several phases that incorporates investigation, analysis, and application of engineered enhancing technologies. For relatively low financial investment, our experience has shown that companies can identify very significant reductions in annual costs from a combination of energy efficiency, productivity improvements, utility optimization, and waste reductions.
